5 Tips for New Year fitness!

josullivan — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 12:06:12 +0000

Happy New Year to all our budding New users.

Every New Year begins with loads of resolutions and best intentions. If you’re like me and over indulged during the Christmas and just had one Guinness too many you probably want to get back into shape.So you’ve bought the new trainers and all the best gear ready to shed those pounds gained over scoffing Christmas Pies! You might have also decided to give up the fags and stay off the drink for January and you’re thinking of joining the Gym.Hold your horses I say. My advice is not to take too much on all at once as you’ll just burn yourself out.

Here are 5 tips to help you maintain your goals so you don’t collapse in a heap somewhere outside a chipper!

Plan an exercise routine. Get a diary and plan out when you intend to exercise during the week and what type of exercise you plan on doing.Don’t over exercise, Start off with 15 minutes of exercise and gradually build this up to a time you are comfortable with.
Set realistic goals. I’m a big believer in the saying “Anything is possible if you put your mind to it” but take one step at a time.
Reward yourself. If you like sweet things reward yourself with some (not a truck load) when you reach your weekly goal
Motivation factors. Find out what motivates you, find a fitness partner who you can go to the gym with.
Keep a journal. Of what you eat and what exercise you’ve done

Best of luck!

Gymlockr V1 Launched

josullivan — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 21:56:44 +0000

We’re happy to announce the launch of Gymlockr.ie a web application which enables users to easily find their local gym, read reviews, share their experience and simply socialise with others of similar interest.

Over the past few months we’ve been working hard to develop version 1 of our gym finding application which helps you find your local gym in Dublin. Gymlockr.ie is co-founded by 4 guys in their 20’s who have a keen interest in sports and technology.

All things to all people, we’re not
Unlike other websites we don’t try to be all things to all people, we focus on one thing, refine it and make it better. We don’t bamboozle you with content which doesn’t relate to subject matter you’re here for. Gymlockr.ie is free of confusing categories, unrelated content and unwanted clutter. Unlike other directories and portals our site isn’t a one size fits all solution. We provide an easy to navigate website which is built especially for people interested in keeping fit. Gymlockr.ie makes it easier to find your fitness and keep it.

What’s coming?
Over the coming weeks and months we’ll be adding more features to make further improvements. Next on the list will be an advanced search option where users can search by classes, facilities etc. We’re adding new Gyms every week so if you can’t find a gym in your local area be sure to get in touch.

Share your experience
We’d love to hear what you have to say about your local gym so please take some time to submit your review today.

Happy Gyming!

Swimming Classes

josullivan — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 10:08:37 +0000

It’s that time of the year again when the thousands of people take to the water on the quest to learn how to swim.
I’m one of those people! After many years clinging onto the pool edge for my dear life and nearly drowning once I thought it was about time!
A lot of classes have already started and I’ve booked myself into the National Acquatic Centre in Dublin for a beginners class for 10 weeks.
I’ll try to keep a diary of my lessons and might even post them here to give an insight into what it’s like for a beginner!
If you have any tips or advice I’d love to hear them, over on our forum swimming topic.

Wish me luck!

Joining a Gym - Top Tips

josullivan — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 22:18:21 +0000

So you want to get in shape and join a Gym? Joining a Gym for the first time can be daunting so here’s some quick advice.

Your needs.

* Location.
o The location needs to be convenient to you, close to your home or work is always good. The Gym should not be more than 20 mins away. Gyms that are miles away is the number 1 reason why people give up going!
* Do you need professional advice?
* Facilities
o Free weights, treadmillsetc
* Time
o How much time do you have to spend in the Gym?
o How long does it take for you to get to the Gym?
* Transport
o Do you have a car? How will you get to the gym?
* Frequency
o How often will you attend?

The Gym Details.

* Free Trial
* Equipment
o Is the Gym equipment in good condition?
* Induction course
o Make sure you get a full run down of how to use equipment etc
* Is a contract required?
o Are you tied to a monthly / annual contract
* Do certain classes cost extra?
* Those the gym charge a joining fee?
* Can I use my membership in other club locations?
* Does the Gym offer a free trial, if so get in and see what the facilities and clients are like.

I hope this small piece of advice was helpful, please feel free to add your comments and tips below. Best of luck.
